A new Rosa Parks movie is in the works.
Exciting news below…
The new effort is called ‘Rosa’ and will be backed by a sizeable production team who are to build the picture in 2019 to chronicle the first 24-hours following the civil rights activist’s arrest.
‘The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks’ author Jeanne Theoharis shared…
While most Americans have heard of Rosa Parks, the details of what happened that on the night she was arrested, and her lifetime of political courage and activism, are largely unknown.The real story of Rosa Parks is far different, and even more inspiring and relevant for our times than the tale most children learn in school.
A due date is yet to be set.
I’m here for it. Hopefully they’ll have Angela Basset as Rosa Parks.
No thank you. Love her but there are plenty younger talent ready and willing.
I would love to see one of the young girls like Yara or Zendaya have a serious, break thru role.
Rosa Parks was 42 years of age the day she got arrested…I love Yara and Zendaya is ok as well but neither of them have what it takes to portray a 42 year old woman ?
@karter, surely a biopic will depict her life from stages. Do you really think they will make a whole movie of her at just 42?
Obviously, you didn’t read the article. It states that the movie is to chronicle the first 24 hours after her arrest…
I’m always here for Angela Basset. And yes clearly Meme didn’t read the article cause the first 24hrs after Rosa’s arrest is the premise of the film.
